Katia was the absolute best, best, best server I've ever had (and all my closest friends are in the service industry!)!!! She celebrated my father like she was part of our family -- with the most genuine kindness and warmth. As though the hospitality wasn't enough, the food matched the feeling. It was so fresh, flavorful, and plentiful! I'm not a big foodie, but I savoured every bite. My father said it was the best birthday meal he'd ever had. Life is so short; time with my sweet father these days are treasured. His birthday lunch at Almadina will be a cherished memory for the rest of my life.

Such a wonderful place to have a meal. Absolutely every aspect of our meal was excellent:…read more We tried the dip sampler and my friend had the chicken schwarma platter. The dips were all delicious and rich, and the pita was fresh and warm. The garlic aioli was also strong and creamy. The atmosphere was very family friendly with an almost cafeteria-like feel. Very casual and comfortable environment, with fast and easy service. The washrooms also surprised me with tampons and pads for anyone who needed one. All in all, food was authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

Friends and family living in the area have recommended this place and stated that they've been…read moregoing for years. I remember trying it (takeout) years ago but this is the first time I came in for dine-in. I love the cozy interiors and aesthetics. Decor is nice especially the booth seatings. Menu has a wide variety of options to choose from, but we opted for the family platter since it seemed like the best option for sharing. Portion was quite generous and a decent amount to share. We got the BBQ chicken ($74.99) which came with either rice or fries (or you could do half/half), salad of your choice (we opted for fattoush), 2 dips of your choice (we chose baba ghanoush & muhammara), 4 fresh pitas & a whole chicken. Restaurant has a lot of parking and seating. Staff were nice but it was a bit of a slow service (had to constantly ask for things, such as cutlery, plates, etc). The washroom had the A/C on blast and it was freezing cold but at least it was clean. Now for the food - everything we had was pretty good. I usually don't like garlic sauce but the one that came with the food was pretty creamy and delicious. As for the baba ghanoush, it didn't taste like it but it still had a nice flavour. The Muhammara was amazing, not overly spicy. As for the fattoush, I found it just OK. I've had better ones elsewhere and I find that it lacked the crispy pita bites, as there was only a few. However, it's worth noting that the chicken took around 30-40 minutes to be ready, which I didn't mind because it came well seasoned and well done. It was not too dry, but not juicy either but seasoned well. The rice was also ok and I like that the food wasn't too greasy, but the plate came with way too many onions... I'd recommend this spot and would come back if I'm ever in the area. Would love to try other dishes on the menu.

I love that they offer organic beer. Everything we got was very fresh, high quality, and full of flavor. All of the meat was juicy and tender.

The young lady didn't want to answer our questions and answer them fast and just want to sit us and get it over with. Over 20 minutes with 2 trips to the counter to tell the servers we are waiting to place an order and still nothing. The food was just ok, lots of rice but smaller kofta than other places. Sorry, our first time here and probably our last!! We were here Saturday August 10 at 6:40 pm

This is by far the best fast food I've ever had! It's shwarma-esq and north indian-esq and east…read moreafrican-esq, but it's definitely amazing! I had the samosa and Channa(chickpeas), the samosa was made fresh, fried up right in front of me, filling was soft and fluffy with sliced potatoes- not the gross mash that has become standard fare for samosas. And the wrap was a perfect balance of crispy and chewy- none of that search where the filling ends and the wrap begins. The chickpeas, I've never had them like this before. Don't know what's in it, but I feel there might be some kind of marination magic. My friends had the beef shwarama and chicken shawarma. It was a true shaved beef shwarama like you get in the East and full of flavour. The chicken is finely balanced in unique blend of spices, flavourful but not overwhelming. The owners are wonderful people, proud Guelphites, and doing justice to the community they serve. Strike up a conversation and they'll be sure to point out great spots to visit, and things to do! And don't worry about your wallet, prices are between $8-10, so even if all you can find is change in your car or bag, you'll still be able to get a great meal out of it! We'll be regulars here whenever were driving nearby. Even a 1 hour detour is worth the visit. I guarantee you'll not find a place this unique, food this wonderful, and owners so proud of their city, and prices so affordable!

I ordered a Large Chicken Sharwarma, which comes with rice, diced onions, a side salad and pita, and a Large Chicken plate (only chicken, onions and sauce).

The smell and taste were just as good as I last remembered it to be. Not only a great place to support local small businesses, but you get your money's worth with quality, quantity, and taste.

I had the falafel pita with fries and it was amazing. I think if I was starving, it wouldn't have been enough, but for a lunch portion, it suited me just fine. And their garlic sauce is devine! We kept having to ask for refills of it because we were all heaping it on our food like it was going out of style. Everyone at our table enjoyed what they ordered, so considering we had a decent smattering of the menu, this leads me to believe that their food is all quite good. I will definitely go here again next time I'm in Burlington!

It came with a side salad as well as a side of white rice as well as 1 pita. The condiments are where the money shot is. Usually they're great. The onion & the Garlic sauce are/were usually fabulous but in this case they weren't! This is where the wheels fall off! The rice was just luke warm, the chicken was dry & flavourless but there was lots of it. The pita was only slightly warm & hardish. As for the service, our server (no name on cheque) was solid & had a great sense of humour. The ambiance was old school & the decor was in serious need of updating. The bathroom was super old & in very serious need of an update as well. This chain has been around for a while. Not a great reflection of my previous experiences with this small local chain. I would go again but definitely not to this location.

It came with grilled chicken, veggies, hummus, tahini, BBQ sauce, and pomegranate molasses. The flavors worked really well together, the chicken was moist and juicy, the sauces added layers of richness, and the veggies kept it fresh. Portion sizes are big enough to leave you full, with the small priced at $9.49 and the large at $15.29, which makes it a good deal. The staff was efficient and friendly, and my order was ready without much wait. It's always nice when service matches the food, and here both delivered. For anyone who enjoys hearty Shawarma plates with bold flavors, this is worth the visit. I'll be back to explore more of their menu.

However, there was much left to be desired and I'm saying this even though I was hungry. It is a watered down inauthentic wrap if I ever ate one. Watered down, meaning it literally tastes like water. If you like lettuce, this is the place to go. You can also taste the cucumber water. The chicken was dry, not plentiful and I did not see the chicken cooking outside, so not sure how they make it. There's no hummus or garlic flavour. If you like salad inside a wrap, with water taste, this is it. It wasn't as savoury as I would have wanted it to be. Plenty of parking and has a washroom, which is good. Food though has much left to be desired
